Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is the most common arrhythmia in the United States.[sup.1] Studies have reported that two thirds of Afib patients who visit the emergency department are admitted to [...]
: Background: Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is a common cardiac manifestation of hyperthyroidism. The data regarding outcomes of Afib with and without hyperthyroidism are lacking. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that patients with Afib and hyperthyroidism have better clinical outcomes, compared with Afib patients without hyperthyroidism. Methods: We queried the National Inpatient Sample database for years 2015‐2017 using Validated ICD‐10‐CM codes for Afib and hyperthyroidism. Patients were separated into two groups, Afib with hyperthyroidism and without hyperthyroidism. Results: The study was conducted with 68 095 278 patients. A total of 9 727 295 Afib patients were identified, 90 635 (0.9%) had hyperthyroidism. The prevalence of hyperthyroidism was higher in patients with Afib (0.9% vs 0.4%, P Conclusion: Hyperthyroidism is associated with Afib in both univariate and multivariate analysis. Afib patients with hyperthyroidism have better clinical outcomes, compared with Afib patients without hyperthyroidism.
